Traditional color appearance modeling has recently matured to the point that available, internationally recommended models such as CIECAM02 are capable of making a wide range of predictions, to within the observer variability ...

Computer algebra systems are being used more and more frequently in mathematics courses of all
levels. For instructors to use these systems effectively, they need to have an idea of how the
systems work. To illuminate the ...

The MJ1149 gene from the Archaeon, Methanococcus jannaschii, has been cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The 19-kDa protein containing the Nudix box, GX5EX7REUXEEXGU, has been purified and identified as a highly ...

Transporters associated with antigen processing molecules (TAP1 and TAP2) mediate the transfer of cytosolic peptides into the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum for association with newly synthesized class I molecules of ...

Urban planning is implemented under many theories and purposes. But often times, due to difference in public preferences, plans can become inconsistent and lack harmony with other neighborhoods. Design theories may become ...

Image deconvolution is addressed using a modified Genetic Algorithm for the error minimization. Numerical examples
are presented to demonstrate the algorithm’s robustness. Specifically, noise levels and various regions ...

In color gamut mapping of pictorial images, the lightness rendition of the mapped images plays a major role in the quality of the final image. For color gamut mapping tasks, where the goal is to produce a match to the ...

Two psychophysical experiments were performed scaling overall image quality of black-and-white electrophotographic (EP) images. Six different printers were used to generate the images. There were six different scenes ...
